Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil d'affichage d'images possédant un écran d'affichage non imbriqué comprenant un premier nombre de lignes d'affichage auquel on applique un signal vidéo imbriqué (RGB-1) présentant un deuxième nombre de lignes vidéo par champ; de ce fait, le premier nombre dépasse le deuxième nombre mais reste inférieur à deux fois le deuxième nombre. On utilise un premier dispositif de mémoire de lignes (F1) pour doubler le nombre de lignes du signal vidéo (RGB-1). Un deuxième (F2) et un troisième (F3) dispositifs de mémoire de lignes reçoivent chacun des lignes vidéo du signal vidéo, dont le nombre de lignes a été doublé, et constituent une paire de lignes vidéo (RGB*, RGB**) à une cadence limitée correspondant au premier nombre de lignes d'affichage. Un interpolateur (7) transmet le premier nombre de lignes d'affichage (RGB-2) à l'écran en réponse à la réception de la paire de lignes vidéo (RGB*, RGB**) depuis les deuxième (F2) et troisième F(3) dispositifs de mémoire de lignes.

Abstract: Ce procédé permet de parvenir à une réduction de la capacité de transmission requise. Des points d'image de parties d'image (PB) à base de points d'image et des points d'image correspondants de parties d'image informatique (CB) qui se chevauchent, sont fondus d'ores et déjà dans l'unité émettrice, conformément à la composante bleue du point d'image de la partie d'image (PB) à base de points d'image et d'après les attributs de modélisation de l'ordinateur, afin qu'aucun autre signal de code (K) ne soit transmis. Le signal de code (K) indique de manière générale le rapport dans lequel le point d'image de la partie d'image (BP) à base de points d'image doit être fondu avec le point d'image de la partie d'image informatique (CB). Dans les procédés antérieurs, cette information n'est pas binaire. Il est dès lors possible de décider dans l'unité réceptrice si le point d'image doit provenir d'une séquence d'images partiellement mélangée (TGB) ou des parties d'image informatique (CB).

Abstract: A device suitable for playing different types of information carriers, such as a CD and an MMCD, on which the information is recorded in a track pattern that has various physical parameters. The processing of the read signal for information reproduction, and the servo such as the drive motor and the servotracking, are to be set to the particular type of information carrier. For determining the type of information carrier, the device includes a discriminator. During a discrimination process, a read signal is generated without the servo tracking facility being in operation. Signal properties related to the physical parameters are then derived from the read signal, based upon which properties the type of information carrier is determined.

Date Jul. 17, 1997A fastening device comprising a block of plastic material of square or alternative cross section. The block has a threaded bore for the receipt of a bolt which completes the fastening, and additionally, the block has a through slot extending from one end making the block of a U-shape so that it has legs and a base. This configuration is such that the legs can be sprung together so that they can be pushed into the end of a square sectioned cable ladder tube to be connected at right angles to a cable ladder rail, whereupon the legs will spring apart so that a projection on the legs engage in apertures in the tube walls and the block cannot be retracted. To secure the rail to the tube end, the bolt is passed through a hole in the rail and is screwed into the block, which is locked in the tube end. The advantages are pre-insertion of the blocks in the factory and simple assembly of the cable ladder on site, and secure connection joining of the rail and tube ends.

A second orifice (28) is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by an annular chamber (30) that communicates with the second orifice through the gap between the first and second orifices. A spout (36) delivers casing glass from a second source through a tube (32) to the annular chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. A plurality of gas burners (58) are disposed in the spout above the glass pool. The casing glass delivery spout is configured for improved heat transfer to, and improved heat retention within, the casing glass pool within the spout. Specifically, the glass pool surface area (63) is enlarged, and the glass pool depth is reduced. Free space above the glass pool is enlarged to accommodate gas flames from more burners, and to increase surface heat radiation into the glass pool. The housing (44) that supports the spout is designed such that an annular spout support surface (at 47) engages the spout radially outwardly of the spout opening(s) (34) for reducing heat transfer to the housing from casing glass flowing through the opening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A prosthetic mechanical valve includes a base portion defining a through blood flow pathway closed by at least a pair of valve. leaflets. The valve leaflets are pivotally carried by the base portion and movable in response to dynamic blood fluid pressures between a first positior at which the leaflets close blood flow through the pathway and a second open position allowing blood flow in the pathway. A pair of confronting magnets are carried one to each of the pair of valve leaflets and attract one another. The magnetic forces of attraction between the pair of magnets impart a biasing torque to the valve leafiets which tends to synchronize pivotal movements of the leaflets, cushions their sealing contact, quiets valve operation, and biases the leaflets toward a third partially open position. As a result, under conditions of nearly balanced blood fluid pressures across the pair of valve leaflets they anticipatorily open toward their third position to improve pumping efiectiveness. Also, at about the end of a blood pumping stroke, the valve leaflets anticipatorily close from their fully open position toward the third position to reduce regurgitation flow and quiet the valve. <IMAGE>
